Very qualified and would make a damn good AD. He has been a Vidor for awhile.
I sure hope you aren't referring to the o cord. That would be awful

I can think of 3 other Slot T teams right now that are steam rolling their opponents an are undefeated in their district. Go look at their numbers.
Vidor 4A have 1 district loss to a very good Lumberton team.
Orangefield 3A
Franklin 3A
Liberty Hill 5A
How can that be Karen if the Slot T is such a horrible offense?
Vidor don't run the slot t, they run a power offense slot T is a misdirection offense that's what upsets me about the offense everyone screams slot T but damn we don't run it like the other schools run it we run a power

Vidors defense is going to have there hands full with lindale

I have been very critical of the vidor coaching staff this yr, but I will always call it as I see it. With that being said I think the change in personal made vidor a much better team and it showed on Friday night. Lumberton is a very good football team and will be a tough test but we are much better than we was earlier in the yr should be a good game
- Boneyard Boys and Hagar

This could be a pretty good game I think the bye week came at a good time for Vidor but no doubt peevy will have LCM ready to go.

I think everyone in setx saw this coming wasn't sure it would happen this fast but it will only get worse in the coming yrs. Lcm will start poaching talent away from wos they have a great coach and will win
-
This is a winnable game for us, if they are ever going to show up and fight Friday is the time but can't have 14 flags and 5 fumbles

Thanks for being truthful, your words not mine, an it shows . “I have no clue” 😂😂
Maybe if you cry a little harder with no solution’s you’ll be more than average. 😂
Look dude it's very obvious you are perfectly content with the program and I am not content with it. I can also tell that your football knowledge is not very good so keeping this conversation going is a waste of time. Have a great day brother

I wasn’t trying to make a point. I asked you a sincere question, an you totally avoided answering it. I am not ok with being mediocre or losing more than we should but all I hear you do is complain and make accusations without solutions, that’s what losers do. Maybe they have kids on the team with your attitude an that’s why they can’t get it together. I say get rid of those kids. I’ll ask again, What was Vidors winning percentage before Matthews took over? This isn’t a trick question, an it also isn’t a question that is praising Matthews record.
It doesn't matter what it was before and I have no clue, I have a loser attitude because I want more than being just average I get it makes perfect sense 🤣🤣🤣

They haven't had a decent team since 2016. So they won a weak district with a gimmick offense, not impressed
Played a very very young silsbee team got lucky to win, played the worst jasper team I have seen still got lucky to win, lcm missed several big plays that cost them, lumberton completely took there foot off the gas and found a way to lose last yrs great team in reality should have been a 500 team and it shows this yr the program is going in the wrong direction I still stand by Vidor is the only district that will keep a coach 23 yrs with a 500 record and 2 playoff wins in 23 yrs

It's been along time since vidor has laid 3 eggs like this to start the season really never in any of the games district is 1 week closer not sure this ship is able to patch the leaks
-
At this point after watching 2 vidor games no way you can pick them with confidence. This team will probaly go 3-7 maybe 4-6 and make the playoffs and this will be viewed as a successful season. I got exporters by 10

What do we change too? If your change is going to give us much better results then I’ll be more than happy to sign your petition.
It's not what we change to, it's a complete change with the program
-
NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNTIL SOMETHING CHANGES
-
Vidors qb has to be moved back to linebacker they can find someone else to hand the ball off the defense is a different animal with him at linebacker
-
After watching some highlights of Santa fe last week I believe this could be alot closer possibly even a vidor win

A lot of our rbs would be good slot receivers. i honestly think Vidors coach doesnt want to install a new system this late in his career. It would be too much work , its a sit it and forget it type of thing. Complacency !
I believe you are correct it's easy and has had success in the past so if it don't work now it's gotta be the kids not the coaches is the mindset I get coming out of the program, I will be in the stands tonight we will see what if any changes was made from last week

I agree. Not sure why some of the posters here are acting like the season is over.
I hope I am wrong but that was the worst vidor team I have seen in along time slow and soft I hear they are moving several people around this week but if the effort doesn't get any better it's going to be along season

Agree, and agree. It’s not the same Slot T we’ve been running. And like you, why have the kid passing rolling to the left is inexplicable. I watched the video of the 2019 game against Crosby were we passed more than I ever remember (about 260 yards). All were rolling to the right or drop back. And the kids blocking last year put defenders on the ground. Did the rules just change? And now our go to play is what was referred to as “student body left” (or right). And for heaven sakes, throw a pass on first down once in a while. And do we even have a screen pass in the playbook?
Forgive this old man. He’s confused and frustrated.
Yes sir the rule changed this year no more cutting outside the tackle box which really hurts because our lead blocker which is usually a running back would cut the end or linebacker which sprung the play not any more, it is just frustrating and look by no means do I think the coaches are doing anything on purpose I truly believe they feel that's the best chance we got and hell it might be the case I just think a few new wrinkles wouldn't hurt or just go back to running the true slot T

I get the impression that some think the spread is the answer to everything. Most teams run the spread and guess what? There’s still winners & losers. So last year Vidor & the Slot T won 8 games. Most, if not all 8 of those teams Vidor beat ran the spread. If you like the spread because you think it’s exciting, that’s one thing. If you think Vidor goes to the spread and voila, the Pirates are the equivalent of North Shore, that just isn’t the case.
I too question the play calling, but last Friday here’s what I didn’t see - When the Pirates ran a play I rarely saw a Tiger on the ground. In years past, the blocking would have several defenders down virtually every play. I saw way to many missed tackles & broke tackles. Not so last year. In my humble opinion, it doesn’t matter if your running the Slot T, the Spread, the “I”, or the Wishbone, if you aren’t blocking and tackling you aren’t going to win football games.
So here’s my humble opinion. What we saw last Friday had little to do with what type offense, and more to do with mental preparedness and execution. I certainly hope to see a whole new Pirate team this coming Friday. I think we have the talent, but somehow, someway, Coach Matthews has to instill the “want to” to win.
It's is not about running the spread or the slot T, in fact with rule changes to blocking we can do very little cutting anymore which is why you didn't see many tigers on the ground Friday. We don't truly run the slot T anymore there is no mis direction it is all straight forward here we come, mis direction is what makes the slot T work never knowing who has the ball linebackers have to fill gaps instead of running to the ball every play. My thoughts on this is we don't develop qbs it's a new kid every yr so they are learning the offense on the fly instead of having a kid that played it since a freshman and knows it like the back of his hand. By no means do I believe we need to line up in shotgun with 5 wrs but also given time and working on it I think we got the kids that could do it. What I am saying though if we are going to run the slot T than run the true slot T not a knocked down version of it that makes it easy to defend, and for the love of god when we do try to throw why would you think it is a good idea to roll the qb left against his throwing shoulder

When Crueder took over the offense we started this current philosophy of how the Slot-T is ran. Every coordinator since then emulated this bad habit. It was a methodical offense under DuBois ,where he used plays to set up other plays and the first half play calling was used to open up things in the second half. They went to to hurry up because Liberty Hill went to it ! Years ago when DuBois/Mathews first Liberty Hill to learn the offense it was different but teams started figuring out how to stop it. People still believe that Vidor is incapable of running another type of offense and that's completely absurd . They tried to throw a little in the SHOT-T days but people scuffed at the idea. The truth is that the naysayers just didn't want their kids to be there during the transition phase to endure the growing pains. They abandon the idea after one year but where has the Slot-T got us in the many years it has been installed ? If we would have spent that much time on the spread then I think we could of figured it out. Close minded
Vidor doesn't play with passion and desire anymore. Arm tackling is the norm. I don't think they are buying into the coaching philosophy anymore.
Man I couldn't of said it any better I agree 1000%

Santa fe 35-14
Vidor at Santa Fe

Silsbee could have scored 60 easy they really called the dogs off in the 2nd half, Vidor oline is very soft and the team is out of shape they look like a 5-5 maybe 6-4 team 4 seed 1 and done as usual, and probably the worst sportsmanship team Vidor has had in a long time.
